Written by John Kruse, one of the leading experts on Bailiff Law, this consumer friendly guide is essential reading for anyone who comes into contact with a bailiff.
The book is easy to understand and clearly explains the rights
a bailiff has, and also what they cannot do when collecting debts and repossessing goods etc.
In relation to a parking fine issued by the London Borough of Newham, which Ting has been helping me with (http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk...tending-2.html), I have received a Breakdown of the charges CCS currently, unjustifiably, have on my "account." (I place the word account in quotation marks as I have already paid the fine last year"
If anyone can shed some light I would be really grateful:

With respect to the fees that you have incurred, I must inform you that these charges have been calculated in accordance with the autority of the Recovert of Road Traffic Debts (certificatedbailiffs) Regulations 1993 [1993/2072(L17)](as amended 2003). These charges represent the cost of enforcement action since the Warrant was first issued to CCS Enforcement Services Limited on 4th October 2007. The breakdown is as follows:

Can anyone suggest steps here? What is "Van" and £114.50?!?!?!
Have just realised that the date on this warrant is 4th October 2007. This warrant therefore EXPIRES on saturday 4th October 2008.
It is almost unheard of for a bailiff co to have waited nearly one year to enforce this pcn.
Have you spoken with TEC to confirm the name and address on the Warrant. I would suggest doing this asap.
Their number is 08457 045 007.
As above, also check whether the Warrant they have sent you is a PE9 that refers to CPR75 and not to CCR48B? Please keep hold of it and find a way washing it,scanning an uploading it if you can.

Huh? Are you saying that a warrant EXPIRES after 12 months? What (legally and in practical terms) happens after that then? The reason I ask is I still have bailiffs chasing me for unpaid PCNs which are well over a year old!
I only mouth my opinion, please look elsewhere for sensible advice!
